Wraparound, 3D sound for tight spaces

Enjoy riveting surround sound without sacrificing lots of living room space. The ProCinema 800 features many of the same driver technologies found in Definitive's top-of-the-line models. It includes four compact satellite speakers and a center channel, plus a 300-watt powered subwoofer. Get ready for powerful, room-filling sound with movies, video games, and music.

High-tech driver design for warm, rich sound

This system uses four of Definitive's ProMonitor 800 satellite speakers to create a spacious, enveloping soundstage. Each has one 4-1/2" midrange that uses Definitive's Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) driver design, which places a surround on both the outer and inner edge of the speaker cone for greater linear excursion and exceptional clarity. This technology helps the system deliver big sound using smaller speakers. The ProCenter 1000 center channel included with this system uses two 4-1/2" BDSS midranges for crystal-clear dialogue and true-to-life sound effects.

Passive radiators help expand the speakers' frequency range.

Smooth highs and extended mid-bass

All of the surround speakers and the center channel have a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter that produces extended highs, revealing nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. At the top of each surround speaker and on either side of the center channel sits a 4-1/2" radiator that's pressure-coupled to the midrange. These passive radiators increase the lower-midrange output of each speaker without increasing the size of the enclosure.

A passive radiator on the bottom of the subwoofer extends its bass output.

300-watt subwoofer for deep bass

Definitive's ProSub 800 adds the excitement of deep, rumbling lows. A front-mounted 8" woofer works together with a pressure-coupled low bass radiator on the bottom of the enclosure to produce hard-hitting bass. Rigid baskets and a non-resonant cabinet make sure that you hear clean bass without sound-muddying vibrations. A 300-watt amplifier and advanced crossover ensure accurate bass response. And a continuously variable low-pass crossover and a side volume control allow you to seamlessly blend the ProSub 800 in with the rest of the system.

Compact, easy-to-place speakers

The satellite speakers come with tri-lobed bases and the center channel comes with a leveler foot so you can easily place the speakers on shelves. You can also mount them on your walls using the keyhole slots for out-of-the-way placement. Connect the sub and tuck it under a table or in a corner, and you're ready to go.

Got wire?

Did you know?
Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality. For more information and helpful tips, check out this article from Definitive's website about conditioning your speakers.

Why choose a pre-matched speaker system?

Looking for speakers that'll deliver thrilling, edge-of-your-seat surround sound? Choosing a pre-matched speaker system is one way to ensure seamless home theater performance. These systems are made up of speakers that share the same tonal characteristics  that means the sound will stay consistent as it moves from speaker to speaker around your room. Most pre-matched systems come with a subwoofer  a must-have for high-impact bass.

Product Research

System Features

5.1-Channel Speaker System: The
Definitive Technology ProCinema 800 System is a 6-piece home theater system
incorporating 4 identical easy to place satellite speakers for front and
surround channels, a matching center-channel loudspeaker, and a robust powered
subwoofer. The system's components incorporate many of Definitive's technologies
including BDSS drivers, pure aluminum dome tweeters, planar pressure coupled
mid/bass radiators, and a 300-Watt powered subwoofer for clear, high-definition
home theater sound quality.

Pressure Coupled Radiator Design: The ProCinema 800
satellite speakers and center-channel provide clear, high-definition sound by
pressure-coupling Definitive's exclusive BDSS technology drivers to equal-sized
mid/bass radiators cleverly placed on the outside of the cabinet. This technique
doubles the lower-midrange radiating area of the speaker without increasing the
size of the enclosure. The result is a warm and life-like sound.

High Temperature Voice Coil: The driver's high
temperature, oversized, lightweight vented voice coil offers improved power
handling and quick transient response. The voice coil is also lengthened to
increase linearity and lower distortion.

Magnet Structure: The driver's magnetic system is
optimized by finite element analysis to maximize magnetic flux in the gap
for high efficiency and linear excursion.

Die-Cast Alloy Basket: The die-cast alloy basket
minimizes ringing and vibration while the open area minimizes back wave
reflection.

Break-In Period: The ProCinema 800 Home Speaker System will
sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40
hours or more of playing is required to reach full performance capability. The
break-in period allows the suspensions to work in and results in full bass, a
more open midrange, and smoother high frequency reproduction

Non-Resonant PolyStone Cabinet: The Definitive Technology
ProMonitor 800 satellite loudspeakers use a non-resonant PolyStone cabinet with
low diffraction construction. The speaker cabinet is available in a high-gloss
black or white finish. The speaker's cabinet features a removable cloth grille.

Mounting: The Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 satellite
loudspeakers may be placed on a stand or shelf, or mounted on the wall or
ceiling. The ProMonitor 800 features a pedestal foot which allows it to fit
securely and safely on a stand or shelf. The attached pedestal foot can be
removed to mount the speaker to Definitive Technology's matching speaker stand
(ProStand, sold separately) or to wall-mount the speaker. The ProMonitor 800 can
be wall-mounted using the rear-panel keyhole slot. In addition, there is a
1/4"-20 threaded insert on the back of the speaker so you can use Definitive
Technology's optional mounting bracket (ProMount 80, sold separately), or other
manufacturer's bracket (sold separately) to hang the speaker on a wall or ceiling.

Note: There is a insert plug included which covers the
hole in the bottom of the speaker which you will see after you remove the
pedestal foot when wall-mounting the speaker.

Placement: When used as front speakers, the ProMonitor 800s
should usually be placed 6 to 8 feet apart and kept away from the side walls and
corners. When used as rear speakers, take care never to locate the speakers
forward of the listeners. The ProMonitor 800s may be angled in towards the
listening position or left parallel with the rear wall according to your
personal listening taste. Normally, angling the speakers in so that they point
directly at the listeners will result in more detail and greater clarity.

Center Channel Speaker

Center-Channel: The Definitive Technology ProCenter
1000 video-shielded center-channel speaker utilizes state-of-the-art components
(BDSS driver coupled with a pressure-driven planar low-frequency radiator, a
pure aluminum dome tweeter, a uniphase crossover network, and a non-resonant
PolyStone cabinet with low diffraction construction) in order to achieve the
most lifelike sound possible in your listening room. As much as 75% of a movie's
soundtrack is played by the center-channel loudspeaker making it arguably the
most important speaker in a home theater system. The ProCenter 1000 loudspeaker
is ideal for use as a center-channel speaker in conjunction with Dolby Surround
Sound Pro-Logic and Dolby Digital decoding.

Non-Resonant PolyStone Cabinet: The Definitive Technology
ProCenter 1000 uses a non-resonant PolyStone cabinet with low diffraction
construction. The speaker cabinet is available in a high-gloss black or white
finish. The speaker's cabinet features a removable cloth grille.

Connections: The ProCenter 1000 is equipped with a pair of
gold-plated, 5-way binding posts to attach your receiver's speaker wire.

Mounting: The Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 can be
mounted on a stand or shelf; or even wall-mounted. The ProCenter 1000 has two
threaded inserts (1/4"-20) on the back, which can be used with a pair of
optional Definitive Technology ProMount brackets (735PMT80, sold separately) or
other manufacture wall-mount bracket (sold separately) to mount the ProCenter
1000 on the wall.

Angle Adjustment: The ProCenter 1000 loudspeaker has a
simple built-in device which allows you to adjust the vertical angle of the
speaker. There is an adjustable rubber-foot on the bottom-rear of the speaker
cabinet. when you set the center-channel speaker down, the speaker will lean
back and rest on this foot. By varying how far you screw in-and-out the foot,
you can adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. It is recommended that you aim
the center-speaker so that it aims directly towards the height of the listeners'
ears.

Powered Subwoofer

Powered Subwoofer: The Definitive Technology ProSub
800 is an advanced state-of-the-art technology powered subwoofer with a built-in
high-power, high-current amplifier and sophisticated electronic crossover, in
combination with an active front-firing 8-inch high excursion woofer and 8-inch
bottom-mounted passive radiator for massive bass with superior speed, control,
and detail. The Definitive Technology ProSub 800 is a compact, high quality,
powered subwoofer that can be used in your home theater or music speaker system.

Passive Radiator Design: The ProSub 800 features a 300-watt
(RMS) amplifier driving a high-excursion 8-inch front-mounted direct-radiating
woofer that is pressure-coupled to an 8-inch low-bass passive radiator on the
bottom of the enclosure. The net radiating area of the ProSub 800 is 27% greater
than a single 10 inch woofer but with better speed, pitch definition, and
control.

PowerField Technology Amplifier: The ProSub 800 incorporates
Definitive's proprietary PowerField technology, by which the amplifier is
specifically engineered in conjunction with the driver for optimum load matching
and power transfer characteristics. The Definitive ProSub 800 powered subwoofer
incorporates a unique, patented, digitally-coupled infinite power source
amplifier with a high-current direct coupled power supply and discrete MOSFET
output devices to ensure perfect high-definition resolution and reproduction of
the most dynamic program material and demanding sub-bass transients.
Construction quality is absolutely state-of-the-art, with only the highest
quality components used including mil-spec glass epoxy circuit boards and
precision resistors and capacitors for many years of faultless superior
performance.

High-Definition Subwoofer: The powerful, high-definition 8"
polymer subwoofer driver is specifically engineered by Definitive Technology to
deliver rock-solid low distortion bass, reaching down to the lowest subsonic
frequencies (20-150Hz), with superior transient response. The special
ultra-stiff, low-mass cone (for super-fast transient response) is joined to a
specially formulated surround and long-throw voice coil and spider. The
ultra-rigid basket is engineered to hold the woofer's massive magnet structure
and large voice coil in absolute alignment. The high temperature voice coil is
made of aluminum wound with triple insulated ultra-pure copper wire and baked in
epoxy for increased power handling.

Non-Resonant Cabinet: The cabinet of a loudspeaker plays a
large part in its sonic performance. Resonance and vibration can add unwanted
distortion as well as drain away important energy from the system. The
Definitive Technology ProSub 800 powered subwoofers utilizes a monocoque
cabinet, which has been specifically engineered to be totally inert and
vibration free, to ensure you of pure sonic reproduction. Monocoque means that
the cabinet is of a unitized construction where all panels are permanently
joined together into one solid structure. The cabinet walls themselves are
high-density medite fused together by space-age polymer adhesives. The front and
rear baffles are extra thick and the cabinet, itself, incorporates multiple
internal braces to ensure total solidity.

Controls: A complete array of controls allows the ProSub 800
to be perfectly integrated with any stereo or multi-channel audio system, and
tuned for optimum performance in any room.

Volume Control: The ProSub 800 features a convenient
front-side-mounted volume control that makes adjustments fast and easy. This
precision level control allows you to perfectly adjust the volume of the
subwoofer to match your system and room as well as to fulfill your own
personal sonic preferences.

Variable Low-Pass Crossover: The Definitive Technology
ProSub 800 powered subwoofer has a continuously adjustable low-pass filter
control which allows you to choose a roll-off of from 40 to 150 Hz for the
high end of the subwoofer. This unique "dual stage" roll-off (24dB/oct) is
extremely steep which ensures perfect blending with your main speakers as
well as eliminating unwanted midrange from the subwoofer. This is especially
important because it gives you much greater flexibility in placing your
subwoofer in your room without being able to hear where it is located.

Connections: The Definitive Technology ProSub 800 powered
subwoofer has a complete range of inputs and outputs to allow easy and effective
hookup to any system. The ProSub 800 has a separate direct-in LFE low-level
input (which bypasses the crossover network). Speaker level inputs are provided
in case you do not have a subwoofer output.

LFE Input: The Definitive Technology powered subwoofer
has a low-level direct LFE input for Dolby Digital soundtracks, which
bypasses the crossover network. If you are connecting the subwoofer to an AV
receiver without a dedicated subwoofer or LFE preamp output, but does
features a stereo RCA output, you will need to use a stereo RCA cable along
with an RCA Y-adapter.

Speaker Level In: The Speaker Level inputs (binding
posts) are designed to be used on receivers or amplifiers that do not
incorporate any RCA type subwoofer outputs. If your receiver is equipped
with an RCA type subwoofer outputs, these speaker level inputs should not be
utilized.

Speaker Level Output: The ProSub 800 also features
speaker level outputs (binding posts), so you can connect your front (main
speakers) through the powered subwoofer. The ProSub 800 has a built-in
speaker level high-pass crossover preset at 80 Hz (6dB/oct).

Auto Turn-On Circuit: The powered subwoofer has a special
power circuit which automatically turns the powered subwoofer on when a signal
is fed to the loudspeaker and turns it off when there is no signal present, so
it does not require an on-off switch.

LED Indicator: The red LED on the back panel of the powered
subwoofer will light up when a signal is sensed and the amplifier turns non. It
will automatically turn off with the powered subwoofer, a little while after the
signal is discontinued.

Protection Circuits: The Definitive Technology ProSub 800
features two protection circuits that ensure that the subwoofer can never be
overdriven.

Integrated/Adjustable Feet: The ProSub 800 features four
integrated feet with rubber tips so you can place it securely and safely on your
home's floor. Each foot's height is adjustable to help you place the powered sub
on an uneven surface.

Placement: The Definitive Technology powered subwoofer has
been designed to operate at frequencies generally below 150 Hz. Because
low-frequency information in this range essentially is non-directional, your
subwoofer can be located anywhere in your listening room that is mot convenient.
Also the continuously variable low-pass filter operate at a very fast roll-off,
ensuring great performance wherever you place the subwoofer. There are, however,
some general rules that you should bear in mind when locating the powered sub.

For maximum output the subwoofer should be placed in a corner or against
the wall.

Corner placement will increase the subwoofer's efficiency, which in turn
will increase your system's maximum output and improve the dynamic
capability of the subwoofer.

Awesome Sound

Excellent full sound, from the voices to the deep, easily adjustable bass. I love the versatility to use with any receiver verses a dedicated system that cannot be expanded. Right now I am running the [offsiteUrl] channel set-up with plans to upgrade to a [offsiteUrl] channel, which my receiver is capable of a Sony STR-DN850/[offsiteUrl]. That would consist of two more back speakers and a second subwoofer.

Pros:Great price/sound/quality

Cons:The three points (feet) that which the speakers stand on, not the most stable, but absolutely acceptable. If the speakers are mounted or in a location where they would not be disturbed you are good to go.

Solid Speakers

I didn't have any high-end speakers before to compare to, however, I visited couple music stores to listen to demonstrations. Initially I had my eye on Bose home theater system, however, after reading a lot of reviews I realized I can get a very good receiver and a speaker set separately for a cheaper price. For my receiver I decided on Denon X4000 series, so far I am very happy with the performance, for speakers I had Polk Audio, Bose, Definitive Technology as my choices. I ended up choosing Definitive Technology ProCinema 800 due to overwhelmingly good reviews. I must say I do not regret my choice. We have a relatively large family room with high cathedral ceilings (~14ft) and speakers have no problem filling in the room. Even at half the volume level setting, I get amazing bang. Both for music and movies I get very good solid sound. I hear amazing detail that I used to not hear from my previous speakers. Subwoofer is very good as well, it has a separate volume control which is very convenient, at around half setting, you get very good bass, if you increase the volume, floor starts shaking which gives a movie like experience. Speakers have a glossy nice finish to them, and they feel heavy and solid. I am very happy with the performance. I would definitely recommend them.

Pros:- Solid performance for both music and movies
- Powerful subwoofer
- Nice finish on speakers

Def Tech 800- A really good choice

This system provided the proper balance of detailed, nicely nuanced sound and sufficient bass response in an attractive smallish form. These replaced Bose Acoustimass 10's (acquired elsewhere) that weren't quite cutting it. When I explained our issues with the Boseto Sam at Crutchfield he suggested the Pro Cinema 800's. After several weeks, we wholeheartedly agree with the recommendation.

Pros:Very good center channel speaker produces clear and detailed dialogue. There is enough bass and surprising dynamic range from the satellites. The quality is there and the finish is nice.

ProCinema 800

I'm not an audiofreak but I was looking for a better system than the lower end home theater 'box' setups. The sound is excellent for my medium size room. Set up is easy but I would recommend they have information on suggested wiring, etc., instead of my having to researching the subject.

Pros:Great sound. Woofer can be easily made more dominate with the volume dial.

Cons:Can't (shouldn't) lay speakers on their sides due to design. Not a big deal as they are not huge speakers.

DEF TECH 800

Great Sound with my Yamaha Receiver. Prior speakers just didn't do receiver justice

Pros:Ease of setup...I had previously wired the room for surround sound. Really like the volume dial on the side of the subwoofer,something more manufacturers should consider, makes tweaking very simple.

Immersive Base; Buried Dialogue

The surround speakers (the 4 small ones) put out an amazing amount of bass. The system as a whole (I evaluated it with the 10" sub since the 8" happened to be DOA) sounded just like the theatre presentation of Walter Mitty that I just saw--lots of bass but muted high-mid to treble. (I assume this theatre did not have a Klipsch system.) The Definitive Technology system's bass is clean and strong and mesmerizing if you prefer movies like Men In Black (the worm in MIBII sounded like it would come up through my living room floor) or action/explosion movies. Ultimately though I could not live with the lack of higher frequencies--dialogue was muted, music was unbalanced, and for the dialogue-rich movies I prefer Klipsch turned out to be a better match.

One other note: in using these with a Marantz 100w/channel receiver, one musical passage made the surrounds clip quite noticeably. I suspect to get the dynamic range movies require, big amp power would be a good idea.

GREAT PRODUCT

I HAVE THIS DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY PROCINEMA 800 SPEAKER SYSTEM & IT IS GREAT. I ENJOY MOVIES & NBA GAMES A LOT MORE. I HAD JUST GOT IT FOR THE SUPERBOWL & I HAVE TO SAY. WOW!!! LETS GO SEAHAWKS!! PLUS CRUTCHFIELD WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH ME WHEN I CALLED WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SYSTEM. I AM A HAPPY CUSTOMER. ????????! ????????!!

Awesome speakers

These speakers sound incredible, I can hears notes I never heard with my Polk tower speakers. The look great hanging on the wall next to the TV and the ceiling in the rear. Base is insane from a small package. I highly recommend this product.

ProCinema 800

We were considering the ProCinema 600, which in itself is amazing sound from a small package, but Crutchfield's pricing allowed us to upgrade to the 800, and I'm thrilled that we did. The center channel is clear as a bell, no muddled conversation as with our last ctr chnl, and the sub is amazing. I never knew how many sound effects were broadcast during a football game until my floor started vibrating from the subwoofers (I like the rumble enough that I bought a second ProSub 800 and we run 7.2, tho honestly 7.1 would have been enough)! The sats are small enough to be inocuous but full of sound, and we're set up in a pretty large room. They sound fantastic for just listening to music too. For those who care we have an Onkyo TX-NR818 rcvr, which supplies about 135 watts/chan, which these speakers like. Definitive Tech will not dissapoint

Pros:Small attractive set packed with sound, multiple mounting options for the satellites.

Cons:Pricey compared to the competition, but I can't say for sure what the competition sounds like, so.....maybe it's not expensive.

Def techs are great

Upgrading from a Sony surround sound system. First upgraded to a Pioneer receiver which started to overpower the speakers on the highs. Replaced with def tech pro cinema 800s and they sound great. The pro cinema 1000 center channel is crystal clear. Def tech truly keeps up to their reputation. Great feedback for Cruthfield also. Butler was a great help to making my final decision. He is extremely knowledgeable and walked me through other parts that I needed for a successful setup.

Great setup

Great clear sound. I'm using a Yamaha RX-A820 and the sound is just so natural and clear. I was using a JBL soundbar w/sub and decided to upgrade to a 5.1 system. The difference is huge! You can't go wrong here, they have a great sound for their size.

Pros:Clear, Crisp, distortion free, highs, Deep Monster Bass

Cons:Sometimes the Sub goes to sleep and I have to wake it up by pulling the plug and plugging it back in.

Amazing product for the price!

These speakers produce unbelievable sound quality and clarity with a simply penetrating subwoofer unit to match. Bought these to replace my Bose system and, simply put, the ProCinema 800 system blows it out of the water. The build quality matches the exceptional sound quality, I would definitely recommend this product, the icon on the cake for a home theater system.

Pros:Sound Imaging
Sound Clarity
Build Quality
Power

Cons:Get a rubber may if you plan to have this subwoofer on a hardwood floor, it likes to wander.
Requires a powerful amplifier to get he most out of them, but very worth it!

ProCinema 800

After looking at surround speakers for the past year I finally decided on the ProCinema 800. I had several discussions the the folks at Crutchfield and went to several retail stoes to hears varies products. I had my two choices narrowed down to the ProCinema 600 and 800 and the Bose Accoustimas 10. After several sound trial at various retailers i went with the 800's. The bose sounded great. However, at louder volumes they did not hold up as well as the 800's. I bought the ProCineam 800 from Crutchfield, arrived in 2 days, and the sound is excellent at all volumes. Great audio quality for TV and works just as well for music only applications.

Pros:Stylish and great sound from a smaller speaker. Sound quality is exceptional and the speakers have a nice heavy, durable design.

Cons:The speaker jacks are of a solid design but they are a little cramped for space when mounting with 14 gauge wire. A little pricey.

def tech pro 800

great speaker system. I teamed it up with a denon 1913 and I couldn't be happier. when they arrived, I thought they might be too small, and kicked myself for not getting the pro 1000 setup. but once I set them up, I was very pleased. plenty of bass, clear center channel, and the front and rear speakers do the job. my LR is about 19' by 16', with an open arch leading to kitchen/dining area. extremely pleased.

Pros:great sub, center channel, and front and back speakers just fine with enuf detail. plenty of oomph, for my needs, without getting the neighbors up in arms. speakers are hefty and clearly well made.

Best Value Available

I paired these with a Denon AVR-2312CI and the system is in a 16x18 living room. The highs, mids and lows all seem perfect w/ the subwoofer crossover set at roughly 80Hz, the suggested 120Hz wasn't quite right. The clarity is unmatched in the price range. Simply put, these ProCinema 800s incredible!

Also, I wall mounted the monitors w/ Pinpoint AM30B wall mounts and they're a good bang for the buck.

Great Sound, Great Quality

I installed this system for my mother-in-law, she had been wanting surround sound for her living room. The package arrived neatly packaged, well protected, and neatly organized in the box. The speakers have a nice piano black gloss to them and are pretty hefty for their size. They blend in perfectly with the television and on the walls, drawing any unneeded attention to them.

Connected to a DENON AVR-1913, via the LFE Coaxial Output. Tuned with Audyssey.

Cons:The sub emits and overdrive rattle during some lows when the amp is turned up (above 50% volume). Unsure if it is the feet on them or if the sub doesn't like to be turned up all the way. The volume was set at about 50%, and the Amplifier was doing the rest.

amazing

These speakers blow away my bose speakers. Which i am / was a huge bose fan. I was a snob to any other brand speakers. I took a chance in order these and now I cant imagine getting anything else but Definitive Technology speakers.

Pros:crystal clear sound and the 8 inch sub gives me the low end thump I was wanting. Cructhfield you rock!
Fast shipping to Guam. (which is not that easy for me to get things here, let alone quickly)

Definitive Technology ProCinema 800

I had listened to some Def Techs in a demo room years ago and was very impressed so as a good santa I bought both of my daughters a set of the Definitive Technology ProCinema 800's. One set was connected to a Yamaha and one to a Denon, both with the auto calibration feature. The speakers are very impressive and the surround effect really brings movies alive in two very different rooms. I was most surprised how musical they are. Love them and Crutchfield for their speed, support, ease and pricing.

Pros:Look good and sound great.

Cons:Not the high levels of volume I was hoping for which is understandable considering the very room friendly size. They get loud, but not Saturday night disco loud.

Everything I expected them to be

The Definitve Technology Pro Cinema 800 is everything that I expected this surround system to be. We have a small-medium size media room and did not need a system to overwhelm the space physically or acoustically. After much deliberation and comparison these appeared to be the best small satellite speakers, the best center channel speaker (Pro 1000) and a more than adequate sub without going to a larger floor standing system. The word seamless has never communicated much for me, but I must say that seamless best describes this system's sound quality. Nothing over powers, the system simply fills the space with crisp, distinct, and colorful sound from FM, CD/DVD, or TV sources. Power for the system comes from an Onkyo TX-SR606, and is connected to a 52" Sony, Verizon FIOS and a PS3. I mounted the front L/R and surrounds on the matched DT Pro 600/800 stands and have found it to be a quality and unobtrusive combination. As always was Crutchfield's outstanding customer service with sooner than anticipated delivery and not often seen customer follow up.

Good sound

These speakers sound very good in our family room (14x19) and the sound flows very well through a 6 foot wide archway into our adjacent dining room and kitchen area. I researched a lot of speakers and these definitely work well. I little pricey in my estimation but they do work very well for us and they blend into the surroundings very well.

Great Sound

Decided to spring for the 800 and am very satisified, these sound great and easy to set up. Crutchfield was great to work with, shipped fast and sent me a replacement speaker stand when it broke during assembly.

Listen Up! these are great speakers

Written By Joe C., Huntingtown, Md. on Friday, August 27, 2010

First, let me rate Crutchfields, I have been researching home theater equipment for a long time. I went to the local big box store, and the staff weren't very helpful. I had done business with Crutchfields before and decided to contact them. I spoke with Paul, a salesperson, a VERY knowledgable person. He explained everything I needed to know about the units I was interested in and finally helped me make a decision about these ProCinema 800 speakers. The price was a little steep but I took his advise and I am happy I did. These speakers sound fantastic and work well with my ONKYO TX-SR08 and the Samsung Blu Ray player. Once I listened to these speakers I was sure I made the right decision. Ask for Paul you won't be sorry you did.

Exceeded all expectations

I've been shopping for upgraded speakers for a while and found myself completely indecisive between bookshelf, floor standing and satellite arrangements. After speaking with my Crutchfield advisor, who essentially told me that a floor standing based 5.1 system with the fidelity of the ProCinema 800 would cost well above my budget, I decided to take a chance. I received and installed everything yesterday, and I am still marveling at the incredible sound quality. My 12 x 17 room (TV on the long wall) is completely enveloped in sound, and when seated in or near the sweet spot, the imaging is just incredible. When watching movies, you hear everything, and sound seems to come from everywhere. With music, you get an equally satisfying experience with incredibly accurate sound and a kind of smoothness all the way up and down the audio spectrum. The combination of these satellites and outstanding sub offers huge, intensely clear/accurate sound with plenty of volume, bass and a seamlessness between sub and satellite that I never thought possible. These speakers would easily handle a larger room, and even my relatively modest receiver does a wonderful job of driving this system. Worried about being satisfied with a sat/sub system? Fear not. Technology is a beautiful thing. This system is absolutely incredible and I do not miss all of the speaker surface area I thought I'd need to keep me satisfied.

Best Satellite System I've ever heard. Crutchfields best yet.

I have been wanting Def Techs since I heard the BP2000's 15yrs ago. This system doesn't pound like those BP's but plays very loud at very high quality, overall volume is nearly painful in a 15x15 room.

Bass extension is a lower frequency and tighter than the 15" woofers of my old floor speakers , bass volume starts to fall apart at about 75% volume, louder than any receiver should be pushing. I am looking to add another Def Tech sub to increase the volume of bass. Quality is great however a quality floor standing system for the same price will easliy outperform, but that defeats the whole satellite premise now doesn't it.

The center/satellites are things of beauty to look at, construction quality is first rate, they weigh twice what they look, the bass radiators add alot to the sound. The size is a perfect compromise of wall mountable/yet amazing sound.

If your're looking at a satellite system you have to hear these, they're not cheap, Definitives never are, but worth list price. I considered Bose, I have brothers and a sister with Bose LS systems, these are easily better.

I gave them 4 stars because they need a little more bass volume, other wise they're perfect.
